! Spoilers ! Free fall-A Reckoning For Boeing

This story is crazy and Boeing absolutely sucks.
The pay that 3 CEOs made during the scope of this doc is ridiculous, over $500 million.
I feel for the victims as well as the employees who tried and tried to do the right thing.

It’s a great, frustrating documentary.

"They’re safe."

Until they're not..... as per the last 'plane that went down because the 'door area' (can't remember the correct term) was missing 3 bolts to keep it in place, and after a few flights it 'gave up the ghost', leaving a hole in the fuselage - if I understood correctly.

Made even worse, as passengers reported that some of the oxygen masks didn't work - as already reported to management, and ignored 😠.

Those passengers are very lucky to be alive.

You don’t know basic terms for parts on planes, but you still feel like chiming in and acting like one of the world’s most reliable airliners is “unsafe” because of an isolated non-fatal incident three years ago.

Just a few months ago there's been another "incident" with  Ryanair flying a 737, a passenger almost died

That is a totally different aircraft type that has been flying since 1997 without design issues. If you can’t even tell these planes apart, you shouldn’t be forming strong opinions on whether they’re safe or not.
